spiffed up piggies
August 18, 2008

Yesterday, I bought shoes that I love. Shoes that even when half-off were more money than I felt comfortable spending. Thank you, Anne, for justifying this purchase. You are a good friend.

The color is envy. And I was. I wasn’t even going to try them on and then I did. I had memories of this store during this sale last year when I was very pregnant and I tried shoes on and fell flat on my face in the middle of the crazed ladies clamoring for the Michael Stars t shirts and size 27 skinny jeans. I came home with shoes on that day as well, but these. Oh my.

These shoes are inspiring me to clean out my closet and get rid of everything I don’t love as much. Or at least organize my closet so I can always look at them.

I bought another pair as well that I do also adore. They are cute and practical as they are neutral and comfortable and summer-sexy. But, the emerald beauties have my heart.

Maybe you do have a little of Carrie Bradshaw in you! Love both pairs….and no matter how much they were YOU are worth them. A gal can never have too many shoes or purses! Happy strutting….xoxo, Mom

Nici! LOVE them. And they’d look THE BOMB with a pair of dark tights this fall…and a pleated skirt. You’s got STYLE! (but I particularly love the wooden owl stool from your linked post. oh, that is so beautiful and full of character!)

Those shoes are truly gems. I am green with envy and considering the visit a year ago to Betty’s sale, you deserve those shoes no matter the cost. XOXO J

If those shoes were a man I would have an illicit affair with them and do things that no decent woman should ever do.

LOVE.

So worth it.

Oooooh, those are so fine. I freakin’ love green heels, there is something very deco about them. I love that you do shoes AND chickens AND a garden, that is the best. I am always joking that when we finally get a tractor I will put on lipstick before driving it. Not that you garden in your heels, but you know what I mean…

And that is way cool about your name decision – it’s a momentous and powerful thing to do, and I hope it’s as much fun for you as it has been for me.

With enormous fondness returned,

Heather

those are divine.

yes, I agree with heather…she runs. she plants. she paints her living room blue. she cooks. she composts. she roots for obama. she sews. she wears cool shoes.

you are every woman.
